ARTHUR STOCKDALE JACKSON, OF MONTREAL, CANADA.

LABEL FOR BOTTLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 587,368, dated. August 3, 1897. Application filed January 14,- 189'7. Serial No. 619,156. (No model.) Patented in Canada March 16, 1896, No. 51,671.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ARTHUR STOOKDALE JACKSON, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing in the city and district of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Labels for Bottles, (for which I have obtained Canadian Patent No. 51,671, dated March 16, 1896;) and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to labels for bottles; and it consists in the novel combination and construction of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of part of a bottle provided with a label according to this invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view from the rear of a label.

A is a bottle of any approved construction.

The label B is provided at its lower part with a disk or shield 19, upon which any approved descriptive matter is printed. The upper part of the label is shaped like a cross, having arms 1) and a disk B. Any approved inscription is printed on the disk B.

O is a strip or string of flexible material, such as tape, secured to the under side of the label and having its lower end 0 projecting below the bottom of the disk I).

The label is attached to the bottle with adhesive material, the arms b being secured around its neck. The disk B comes over the cork and the disk 12 comes in front of the bottle.

When the cork is to be drawn, the label is defaced by pulling the end 0, tearing away the label, and exposing the top of the cork. 40 If any one attempts to draw the cork without first defacing the label, the tape which comes away with the cork will effectually deface the label. The object in thus defacing the label before the cork is drawn is to prevent the refilling the bottle with a substitute for its proper contents, as indicated by the label.

WVhat I claim is A label provided at its lower part with a disk or shield, and with a disk and arms at its upper part, in combination with a strip of flexible material secured behind the label and having a projecting end, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ARTHUR STOCKDALE JACKSON.
